Ian Bogost at X-Media Lab: serious gaming
No full textVideo games are usually viewed as a form of escapism: pure entertainment and shoot-em-up fantasy.

In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence.
Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry".

He is widely considered an influential thinker and doer in the videogame industry and research community.

Coping with Trauma and Loss in Ian McEwan’s Novels The Cement Garden and The Child in Time
No full textreservedL’obiettivo di questa tesi è studiare i diversi approcci alla perdita e il trauma nella scrittura di Ian McEwan. Esaminerò due dei suoi libri, The Cement Garden (1978) e The Child in Time (1987), entrambi caratterizzati da un imprevisto evento traumatico che porta a un cambiamento radicale nelle vite dei personaggi e nelle relazioni tra di loro.
Nel primo capitolo definirò il concetto di postmodernismo, contestualizzerò le influenze letterarie e culturali di McEwan e inoltre fornirò alcune informazioni biografiche su di lui.
Nel secondo capitolo discuterò le differenze e somiglianze presenti nei due romanzi rispetto a come l’autore ha sviluppato gli effetti del trauma sui personaggi e le dinamiche che si instaurano tra di loro.
Nel terzo ed ultimo capitolo illustrerò come I personaggi affrontano il lutto e la perdita e quello che possiamo intuire sia il punto di vista di McEwan riguardo a questi temi.The aim of this dissertation is researching different approaches to loss and trauma in Ian McEwan’s writings.
